Cathedrale Notre-Dame de Paris

As you approach the iconic Notre-Dame, your guide will take you back in time to when the majestic cathedral—France’s official point zero—was first built, and Paris looked very different than it does today. While this tour explores the exterior only, your guide will share how to visit the interior on your own. You’ll be among the first to see Notre-Dame since its reopening after the 2019 fire. Before parting ways, your guide will provide you with tickets to a one-hour Seine River cruise, offering live commentary and stunning views of Paris’s architectural treasures from the water.
